Software bundling...

Could there be some way to combine software that is picked up as separate components into bundles?

Mac software is particularly guilty of treating parts of a bundle as separate components in scans - Office gets split into Word, Excel, PPT, etc (Office sometimes renames them separately as Word/Microsoft Word just to be awkward) and Adobe bundles split out into Photoshop, Illustrator et al.

The scans pick up the separate software installs, but the license is for the bundle. It makes tracking the licensing very difficult. I can't associate the separate installs as minor versions, as it'll treat each install as another separate install and the license will go under-compliant.

Some way of associating software as bundles would be very useful. Maybe some way of creating a license that covers multiple software names? On creating a license, allow someone to add more software to it - for example, create a license for Office, and add Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Entourage/Outlook as the relevant software.
